Whether it’s making a tasty cheese toasty in your underwear or watching that terrible British soap when you’re supposed to be out with your mates – we all have those secret little ways of cheering ourselves up.

Those things that even our BFFs don’t know about, the activities that give us oodles of pleasure with minimal effort. And let’s face it being happy is pretty much everything isn’t it?

The lovely bods at Barefoot Wine certainly think so and are on mission to make the world a better place through wine but also through their #BareYourSole campaign.

The initiative aims to encourage people to share their secret passions or quirky interests with their friends and family in a bid to become happier, with research by Barefoot Wine revealing that half the UK population believe that self-expression is the key to happiness.

So seeing as today is International Day of Happiness, what are the things that secretly can make you really happy? Read on my friend, read on.

Dancing around naked to awful music

Strip off and pump up your noise pollution song of choice – I promise you it’ll make you feel fabulous. Whether you’re bopping around to One Direction, rocking out to Meatloaf or performing the Tragedy dance routine to Strips (yey to their reunion). Just let yourself go and maybe lock your door. Just in case.

Flirting with people on public transport

You might be in a happy committed relationship but there’s no harm in having a little flirt on your way to work. Maybe it’s a harmless wink to that cute guy on the train, or giving up your seat for that pretty girl on the tube, either way a little human interaction will leave you with a contented feeling all day.

Acceptance speech

While awards season might be over for another year in TinselTown, in your bedroom it’s very much a different story. There are so many awards to be won, such little time. Why not pour yourself a glass of Barefoot Wine Pink Pinot Grigio, grab that hairbrush and prepare to thank everyone in your life for that Best Actress / Best Music Video / Golden Globe as you stare at yourself at the mirror. Cheers to that!

Q- Tips!

Enough said.

Watching crap TV

Your vice might be watching Hollyoaks at 6.30pm (and then switching over to watch the next episode on E4 at 7pm, yeh?) or maybe you’re addicted to ITVBe. Sometimes there is something about kicking back and watching absolutely trash TV. And nobody needs to know.

Cute animal accounts

At work you might be a serious professional person but there’s nothing you like more than watching endless cute animals videos on your commute to the office. You might mock people who fill their Instagram feed with accounts dedicated to various breeds of animal, but you are secretly one of them.

Because, let’s face it. what isn’t to love about an overexcited goat, an adorable litter of puppies or a cat playing the piano. (Spoiler – nothing, there’s nothing not to love)

Spending the *entire* weekend in your pyjamas

We’ve all been there. You’re in work on Monday morning and everyone is listing off details of their super productive weekends and then they ask you what you got up to. So you lie. Of course you didn’t spend the entire weekend in lying on your sofa, in frankly less-than-clean PJs and an old hoodie, stuffing your face and watching Law and Order re-runs.

You were out at brunch, doing that bit of DIY and seeing your pals, weren’t you?

Booking that weird beauty treatment

Whether it’s an upper lip wax or that weird thai massage you just can’t live without, no one wakes up looking exactly how they want to (or if they do, we don’t want to hear about it).

There is something about having a secret beauty habit that no one else knows about that leaves you feeling oh so content – and looking fab obviously.
